MikeyLikesIt Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 So I have less than 1 week to go before I get banded. I arrive in Tijuana with one of my best friends on Sunday. It's exciting and nerve racking at the same time. I'm sure you guys know how I feel. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newdawn Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 So I have less than 1 week to go before I get banded. I arrive in Tijuana with one of my best friends on Sunday. It's exciting and nerve racking at the same time. I'm sure you guys know how I feel. Can't wait! Mikey, I was just banded 6 days ago. Just think positive. There is nothing really to be nervous about. It's a great journey that we are all beginning. I haven't been hungry at all. It's so weird because I don't think that I have ever said that. Have a great trip and let us know how you are doing.

Surgery...no big deal. 20 minutes and your back again...just enjoy the white stockings!!! I know..............man I'm so excited...2 more days!!! I'm actually starting to like this liquid diet....LOL. The option of food comes down to no decision time and well it happens and that's the end of my food worries. If it could always be that easy. I can't wait. Dr. Miranda called me yesterday to check on my weight loss and felt so relieved after I talked to her! I can't believe the time has finally come. Thanks for all the support you guys...it helps a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyLikesIt Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Hey Mikey,checking in to see how you are doing Keep us posted on your progress!! I'm doing considerably well on liquids. I really do believe the pre op liquid diet for me was nothing but a preparation for what I'm going thru right now. If I hadn't gone thru that pre op liquid diet I'd probably be in agony right now but I'm use to it and taking 1 day at a time. Other than liquids it's going well. Oh wait...this So Cal heat wave is kiling me, LOL! Be good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portlandgriff Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Mikey, Just wanted to say hi...I didn't talk to you much on the 27t or 28th...just to smile in passing as we were doing our walking around the clinic. I wanted to say that your friend was the best she checked on us too. Tammy was in the end room and I was next to her and your friend stopped and and talked to us before and just after our surgery. Please tell her thank you for us for checking in and sharing her weight loss story. I am glad that you are doing so well with the diet and surviving that heatwave.

And yeah i live in Corona and the heat wave was killer, especially when i was sitting outside at work for 8 hours...UGH!! On a side note i just got my first fill on Thursday, went great! got there at 12 and was out by 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started on solids and can't wait for my 1st fill because this no restriction feeling ain't cool but I'm dealing with it 1 day at a time...how is Tammy doing? Have you guys scheduled your 1st fill? Mine is October 8th...can't wait!!! Keep me updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
